What is Velocity Resource Group?
Velocity Resource Group is a flat-fee recruiting firm that delivers pre-screened, Qualified, Available, and Interested (QAI) candidates to enterprise clients within 24–48 hours using an overnight sourcing model. VRG combines a Bangkok-based overnight research team with U.S.-based recruiters to build passive candidate pipelines — with no placement fees, no commissions, and no long-term contracts. VRG has served Fortune 500 clients including J&J, BMW, Verizon, and L'Oréal for over 20 years.
How is Velocity different from traditional staffing agencies or RPOs?
VRG differs from traditional staffing agencies and RPOs in three measurable ways: (1) Flat-fee pricing — clients pay a fixed project fee, not a percentage of the hired candidate's salary, eliminating placement commissions entirely. (2) Sourcing-only scope — VRG handles candidate identification and pre-screening while your internal TA team retains full control of interviews and hiring decisions. (3) 24–48 hour delivery — VRG's overnight offshore model delivers qualified candidates faster than most domestic staffing agencies or RPO programs.
What does 'overnight sourcing and qualification' really mean?
Overnight sourcing means VRG's Bangkok-based research team begins identifying candidates the same night a role is activated — while your U.S. office is closed. By the next morning, U.S.-based recruiters have already screened and personally engaged those candidates by phone, verifying their qualifications, availability, and interest. The result: a list of Qualified, Available, and Interested candidates delivered within 24 hours of kickoff, without your team spending a single hour on initial outreach.
How does VRG compare to retained search or contingency staffing firms?
VRG differs from retained search and contingency firms in both pricing structure and service scope. Retained search firms require upfront retainers and exclusive agreements — VRG requires neither. Contingency firms charge 15–25% of the placed candidate's first-year salary — VRG charges a flat project fee with no placement commission. VRG's scope is sourcing and pre-screening only, making it a complement to internal TA teams rather than a full-service search replacement. For clients who want sourcing speed and cost predictability without ceding control of the hiring process, VRG's model offers a structural advantage over both alternatives.
What kind of companies work with Velocity?
VRG works with Fortune 500 enterprises, mid-sized businesses, and growth-stage companies across industries including manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, engineering, finance, and IT. The majority of VRG's clients already have internal recruiting teams and engage VRG specifically for passive candidate sourcing, high-volume hiring support, or hard-to-fill role coverage. Notable clients include J&J, BMW, Verizon, and L'Oréal.
What does the 'We Source, We Qualify, You Hire' model mean in practice?
"We Source" — VRG's overnight research team identifies passive and active candidates using major job boards, professional networks, niche industry platforms, and resume databases — casting a wide net your internal team may not have time or tools to work.
"We Qualify" — U.S.-based VRG recruiters personally call each candidate to confirm they are Qualified (skills and experience match the role), Available (employment status and timing confirmed), and Interested (genuine interest in your specific opportunity — not just a general job search).
"You Hire" — Once a candidate passes QAI screening, they are submitted directly to you and ready to enter your internal interview process. VRG does not make hiring decisions — you retain full control.
What is VRG's blended offshore model?
VRG's blended offshore model uses two coordinated teams working across time zones: a Bangkok-based overnight research team that identifies and compiles candidate lists while U.S. offices are closed, and a U.S.-based recruiting team that personally screens and engages those candidates the following business day. Daily hand-offs and shared systems keep both teams aligned. This around-the-clock structure is what enables VRG to deliver Qualified, Available, and Interested candidates faster than virtually any domestic-only recruiting operation.
What is the difference between VRG and an in-house recruiting team?
An in-house recruiting team manages the full hiring lifecycle — sourcing, screening, interviewing, offer management, and onboarding. VRG handles only the sourcing and pre-screening stage, delivering Qualified, Available, and Interested candidates to the internal team, which then manages all subsequent steps. VRG is not a replacement for internal recruiters — it is a sourcing partner that extends their capacity, reduces time-to-pipeline, and provides access to passive candidates that internal teams may lack the tools or bandwidth to reach.
